Thermal Walks questionnaire

1) How do you find the thermal environment at this precise moment?a) Temperature: Cold / Cool / Neither warm nor cool / warm / hot [ASV]b) Wind: no wind / breeze / OK / windy / too windy [Windvote]c) Sun : would like more / OK / too much sun [Sun vote]2) Do you feel a thermal variation at … in relation to your previous sensation?

Colder / Cooler / No variation / Warmer / Hotter [dASV]3) You find this: Uncomfortably cold / uncomfortably cool / Comfortable / uncomfortably

warm / uncomfortably hot [PTC]

Thermal Notation

Applications in urban designSocial revitalisation

Public engagement•Subtle microclimatic variations that result in greater variation in thermal perception and comfort•Association of specific spaces along the walk with climatic attributes•In warm temperate climate, high density and degree of complexity create a pattern of thermal diversity between interconnected streets and squares.•Greater impact on time of exposure, opportunity for thermal adaptation
